Harrison Ford's turned down his share of clunkers ("Dragonfly," "Proof of Life") but the list of good movies he could have done and would have been great in is long ("Traffic," "JFK," "The Untouchables," "Saving Private Ryan," "Syriana") and movies like this and Nicholas Refn's "The Dying of the Light" which couldn't get greenlit because he dropped out… He's making more considered choices these days, but it's quite something to see how the last decade could have been a lot smoother sailing if he'd chosen his roles as well as he had in the 80s and 90s.

Glad to see that strike through lead to the mention that Frank's directing it himself, The Lookout was excellent and he's been missed ever since. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was pretty great popcorn, but I can't ever stop wondering what it might have been with him at the helm.

Neeson wouldn't have been someone I'd have thought of for Matt Scudder, but I think he works just fine, and it sounds like Frank's script is great. I'd love to see this become a franchise as there are a ton of great Scudder books. This is probably the most grisly of the Scudder books. Now I need to go back and watch The Lookout.
